Presales Close for BlizzCon 2019 Commemorative Collectibles on June 19th

Presales for the Orc Grunt and Human Footman, collectible statues for BlizzCon 2019, close on June 19th. After that date, the statues cannot be acquired.

Each statue costs $45 (value $55) and can be purchased on the Blizzard Gear Shop. The statues are expected to be delivered by the beginning of BlizzCon 2019 (November 1st).

Last week, Perc was sent both statues by Blizzard (cat not included):

November 2019 marks the 25th anniversary of the Warcraft® universe, and instead of doing a typical BlizzCon® Goody Bag as we have in past years, we’d like to commemorate the occasion by providing BlizzCon attendees a distinctly Azerothian memento.

We’re excited to announce that everyone who buys a ticket to attend this year’s BlizzCon will receive their choice of a special BlizzCon 2019 Commemorative Collectible—one of two premium statues in the style of the Blizzard Legends series, celebrating a quarter century of Warcraft’s timeless central conflict. Take up arms alongside the mighty Orc Grunt, or side with the bold Human Footman!

IMPORTANT!You’ll need to decide which statue you want at the time you purchase your tickets on May 4 or May 8. We’ll be producing quantities for pickup at BlizzCon based on what people choose, and locking in your selection now helps us ensure we’ll have everyone’s statue ready in time for the show!

Ready for action! Honor the legends of Azeroth with the fierce and noble Human Footman.

Since statue choices are locked in at the time of ticket purchase, make sure to sync up with family and friends in advance to determine which one everyone wants. BlizzCon attendees will pick up their preselected statues with their badges at the show—and keep in mind that if you choose to transfer tickets (find out more), the selected statue will stay connected to that ticket.

In addition, anyone who wants either statue (or both!) will be able to purchase the Orc Grunt and Human Footman for a limited time on the Blizzard Gear Store starting May 4. Statues purchased during this window will be shipped directly to your home around the time of BlizzCon. Stay tuned for more details.

Here’s to 25 years of Warcraft—we’re looking forward to celebrating with you at BlizzCon!

I'd love to have one of these little guys. They might not look that good in other people opinion, but they have to mass-produce all of this, so it's understandable. Either way, won't be able to get one, but damn these look hot

The toys look like something you would get in a fastfood children's meal. That was the first thing that came to mind.

Not exactly "mass produced" if they're marketing them as rare collectibles available in limited numbers.

For an item that's supposed to be done in small batches to increase its rarity, I was expecting a bit more quality.

What ruins them for me is the colors. Way too bright and loud. Specially the orc's skin.

Plus, as a proud horde member, I'm upset that the alliance statue is shown stomping on our glorious banner, but the orc statue isn't allowed to stomp that filthy alliance rag.

So you know, priorities.

Aw man.

Indeed. The cat is the best thing in the picture.

I like how the cat is eating the Horde and sitting with the Alliance...

Cat 100% is a Night Elf stuck in cat form

For a Blizzcon collectible I was expecting more. This looks like something they would sell off the regular store.

Reminder that the DC Comics World of Warcraft figurines are much higher quality AND mass produced.

I love my Succubus and Draenei Mage figurines.

Blizzcon statues should be 10 feet tall and carved out of marble. Or they should just give everyone a car. If I paid hundreds of dollars for a ticket I expect more than just admission to the event. It's like how concert tickets come with a free guitar and drum set.

I don't get your point, they cost $45 each.

Lol blizzard has hundreds of millions of fans. Blizzcon is like 50k tickets. It’s impossible not to have a high attendance.

I'm happy that others are able to enjoy the statues, they are kind of cute.

But, I'd probably value them at $20-$35 personally as, to me, they just aren't worth $45 (let alone their marked up "store-price" of $55), since I could go and get a similarly-sized Funko Vinyl figure for, well, $20-$35.

The appearance of quality seems equivalent for me to that of the aforementioned Funko Vinyl figures- a softer plastic with some very moderate pastel colours.

The quality, and the decision to push these statues at all, has me worried for Blizzcon this year, since it is growing evermore apparent that the company is growing more and more out of touch with the community and its desires. I'm very cynical about Acti-Blizzard these days, but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that they aren't so out of touch as to ignore the outcry which has been burning since the November of last year.

P.S. As another proud member of the Horde, I agree with Rankkor's assessment:

And for that price I expect about $450 worth of value. I've been playing since Vanilla and feel entitled to get more than my money's worth. This is like the water striders all over again. When is Ion gonna stop taking advantage of the WoW playerbase! I'm just so offended by these items!

Sorry, just trying to fit in with the "everything Blizzard does is wrong and evil" crowd. Did I do it right?

The statues are pretty weak imo. As a collector, I'll have to pass. Whatever plastic they used looks really cheap, like the sort of plastic that Reaper uses to make miniatures. I can even see some mold lines and the orc's axe already looks bent.
